Prestigious Oral Arabic (POA), the substandard but nevertheless non-colloquial oral medium of the present-day Arab intellectual elite, is an unstable and highly variable linguistic entity. In structural models of very various architecture, POA or what may equal it under various names, begins to appear in the form of teaching devices designed for the instruction of a vaguely defined noncolloquial Modern Arabic. The following inquiry aims at providing a tentative clue to the identification and classification of the main structural features of this unstable linguistic entity in terms of their deviation from the synthetic norm of Standard Arabic and their representation in three different, arbitrarily selected descriptive models designed for teaching purposes.

The ability of the Cairo Arabic verbs to provide functionally active basic stem oppositions is examined. The study concentrates on the trichotomous system faÓal, fiÓil and fuÓul. It examines their ability to convey some general grammatical and derivational meanings, such as transitivity and intransitivity, as well as more specific functions related to them such as causativity as opposed to reflexivity, activeness as against passiveness, with or without unpredictable lexical connotations. Some introductory parallels with Standard Arabic are provided.

Simplification of Standard Arabic is one of the most hopeful reform strategies proposed to make communication in the recent Arabophone space more efficient. The overwhelming impact of the Arab cultural tradition with the Classical Arabic of the early Arab grammarians as its linguistic ideal removes nearly all language reform activities to the realm of theory. The reality of a prestigious substandard, identified in native terms with 'lugha wusTa' or 'lugha mutawassiTaI', still unrecognized as an autonomous and fully-qualified linguistic entity, is confronted with the idea of bilingualism that has to end the era of diglossia.
